Different sport, but The Fed has also resisted adopting any kind of rules that the NFL and NCAA Football have for timing in the last two minutes of the half, I would be surprised if they deviated from that here.
What I'm meaning is for those timers that do only HS or lower games where the rule is not in effect, it would take some time for them to get used to the rule. Also what action would cause the clock to stop, the ball through the net?

At least not wanting to adopt NBE Rules where the clock stops after every made basket in the last 2 minutes of the 4th Qtr. or OT.

Concerning the shot clock, the games can be higher scoring but can also be lower scoring depending on the offensive/defensive strategies of the teams, it does seem to make the game tempo faster.

It's all in the eye of the beholder.
